<h1 class="whs1">Print Reports preferences</h1>
<p>The Print Reports preferences page lets users set defaults for printing 
 reports so users can save time while working. For example, if most of 
 your reports are printed in landscape orientation, you can set your print 
 default to landscape so you don't have to select this each time you print. 
 </p>
<p>The Print Reports preferences described below vary depending on settings 
 in other user preferences. These instances are noted in the appropriate 
 places below. Some of the following preferences are PDF-specific (listed 
 below as &quot;PDF only&quot;) and only appear if you select the <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use PDF for printing reports</B></span> check box 
 in the General section of User Preferences. Other preferences are browser 
 printing-specific (listed below as &quot;Browser printing&quot;) and only 
 appear if you clear the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use PDF for printing 
 reports</B></span> check box. Also, some browser printing-specific preferences 
 are available only if you have DHTML enabled. These are listed below as 
 &quot;DHTML-only&quot;. </p>
<p>Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Preferences </B></span>at the top 
 of any page, then click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print Reports</B></span>. 
 These are the options:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs2">

 report </B></span>or<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> Portion displayed only</B></span> 
 to set the default for whenever you print. You can print either the entire 
 report or only the portion of the report displayed in your browser. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Page Header and Footer</B></span>: 
 You can use the headers and footers assigned to the report by the designer, 
 or you can customize the header and footer to be displayed on all your 
 reports. Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Edit Custom Settings</B></span> 
 to access the Header/Footer Editor. You can specify the text to print 
 in the left, center, and right portions of the header and footer. T<span

 prints on a page from the following scaling options:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs3">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Adjust font to 
 __% of original size</B></span><span>:</span> Manually set the percent to

 visible if PDF printing is disabled): Specify whether the page is adjusted 
 for <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>All columns</B></span>,<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>

	</ul>
</ul>
<ul type="disc" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print the grid and 
 the graph on the same page</B></span><span>: D</span>etermine whether the 
 grid and the graph are printed on the same page when printing a report 
 displayed in Grid and Graph view. If you clear the check box, the grid 
 and graph print on separate pages. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Orientation</B></span>: 
 Print reports in either <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Portrait</B></span> 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Landscape</B></span> format. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print cover page</B></span>: 
 Determine whether a cover page is printed and select one of the following 
 to determine which details are printed:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs3">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>With Filter Details</B></span>: 
 Select whether to print the filter details of a report on a separate page. 
 </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>With Report Details</B></span>:

 </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Cover page location</B></span>:

	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Expand all page-by 
 fields</B></span><span>: P</span>rint all combinations of items in the Page-by 
 axis when printing a report that has one or more items in the Page-by 
 axis. To print only the items currently displayed, clear this check box. 
 </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Paper size</B></span><span>: 
 </span>Determine the paper size on which to print a report. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Margins (</B></span><span 
 style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><I><B>unit type</B></I></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>)</B></span>: 
 Set the top, left, right, and bottom margins. For reports to print correctly, 
 these margin settings and the margin settings in the browser's File, Page 
 Setup option must match. This is only applicable if PDF printing is disabled. 
 The default values for all of them is 0.75 inches. </p></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Maximum header/footer 
 size (</B></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><I><B>unit 
 type</B></I></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>)</B></span><span>: S</span>et 
 the size at which the report header and footer can be overwritten. If 
 the header or footer is larger than its maximum size and the report must 
 use the space to display its content, the header or footer is cut off 
 by the report content. If the report does not use the space, the entire 
 header or footer is displayed, regardless of size. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use bitmaps for graphs</B></span> 
 (PDF only): Determine if graphs are generated using a bitmap format or 
 a vector format (default). Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use 
 bitmaps for graphs</B></span> check box to specify that graphs are generated 
 using a bitmap format. </p></li>
</ul>
<p class="whs4">When the<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> 
 Use bitmaps for graphs</B></span> check box is selected, the<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> 
 Use draft quality for graphs</B></span> check box becomes available. Select 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use draft quality for graphs</B></span> 
 check box if you want the exported PDF to use lower-quality graphs. This 
 results in a smaller PDF file size and is particularly helpful when you 
 do not intend to print the report or document. </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Embed fonts</B></span> 
 (PDF only): Determine if you want to use the original fonts chosen in 
 the Document Editor to display and print the PDF, even on machines that 
 do not have those fonts installed. This ensures the portability of the 
 PDF. </p></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted style="margin-left: 0px;"><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Maximum/Default number of rows per page</B></span>

<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Disable DHTML printing</B></span>

 printing. This enables HTML printing and several additional print options

<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show popup print dialog</B></span> 
 (Browser printing, DHTML only): Ensure that your browser's File &gt; Print 
 dialog box is automatically displayed when you show the printable version 
 of a report. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show options when printing/exporting 
 to PDF </B></span>(This option is displayed as <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show

 print. </p></li>
